What do I need before I set up the Workday 2-way integration?

Three prerequisites, one checklist — confirm subscription, 1-way integration, and admin access before you start.

The 2-way integration requires an existing 1-way Workday integration, an active Workday subscription, and admin access in both systems. Confirm all three before you start.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

  • HR admins setting up or upgrading the Workday integration.
  • The Workday integration must be included in your current Tilt subscription.
  • You must already have the 1-way integration set up, including an ISU (Integration System User) and Security Group permissions in Workday.
  • You need an active Workday subscription.
  • You need admin access in both Tilt and Workday.

Steps

  1. Confirm the Workday integration is included in your Tilt subscription. If you're not sure, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM).
  2. Confirm the 1-way integration is already installed, with an ISU and Security Group permissions configured in Workday.
  3. Confirm you have an active Workday subscription and admin access in both Tilt and Workday.
  4. Once all three are confirmed, move on to assigning Workday permissions.

What if it doesn't work

  • If the Workday integration isn't part of your subscription, contact your CSM to add it — you can't self-serve this from within Tilt or Workday.
  • If you don't have the 1-way integration set up yet, complete that first. The 2-way integration builds on it and can't be installed on its own.
  • If you don't have admin access in Workday, ask your Workday administrator to grant it or to complete the setup steps alongside you.

Limits and exceptions

  • You can't set up the 2-way integration without the 1-way integration already in place.
  • You can't proceed without an active Workday subscription.
  • Non-admin users can't complete this setup in either system.
  • Before you enable the leave data push, decide how you want to handle leave type mapping — see the next question. You can't turn it off partway through mapping without redoing configuration.
